A modern four-piece family bathroom completes the ground floor amenities.

A secondary entrance hallway connects the kitchen to the dining area and a beautifully cosy lounge, where exposed beams frame the room, the stunning Contura wood-burning stove with brick feature fireplace and oak mantelpiece creates a warm and inviting focal point.

Stairs from the dining area rise to an open landing featuring striking herringbone brickwork, a cloakroom, and three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from handcrafted fitted wardrobes. A second staircase from the kitchen leads to the impressive dual-aspect principal bedroom, complete with elegant beams, decorative brickwork, a fitted wardrobe, and a walk-in dressing area with access to the east side of the property.
